Solution: lock them up.

Dr MAS, I have been reading with interest. It seems as above with these so called skeptics that they will just blank out the reality they can't deal with in a rational way. banning a picture in another thread about homeopathy because the 'woman was disfigured' was not only insulting to disfigured people, bu insulting the intelligence of every last of the readers of this board. Iwas the last straw for me and i had to join and express my disgust with this behaviour against you and other proponents of homeopathy. homeopathy has been proven beyond all reasonable doubt to be effective in many cases, it just hasn't been explained by science. And because of this these so called skeptics just try to shut discussion off with insult, divert it with sophistry or ban people for obviously made up reasons.

Welcome to the forum, amazingdan!
I don't know about the "dan" part, but based on your post above, the "amazing" part is spot on.

Just a couple of points:
1) The picture was not "banned", it is still accessible via a link in the post.
2) Who has been banned for "obviously made up reasons"? Certainly none of the recent "Pakistani homeopaths" have been banned.

Welcome to the forum, amazingdan!
Could you be so kind as to provide evidence for this?
BTW, you're not correct in asserting that science has no explanation for homeopathy. It has, in fact, many:
To name but a few:
Natural remission
Cyclic nature of disease
Misdiagnosis
Placebo effect
Hawthorne effect
Wishful thinking
Confirmation bias
Unaccounted for confounders (such as concurrent real treatment)
Confimation bias
Publication bias
Fabrication and other fraud

Dan,
Welcome. As Darat pointed out, the pic is still available via the link. What do you think about the fact that they claim that it is a picture of a patient, when the picture is named "woman4ya.jpg". Don't you think that's an interesting name for a Pakistani homeopath to come up with for a case study? Can you see why we question their honesty?
Edited to add quotation marks and to note that the pic named "woman4ya.jpg" is to be found on the allopathy thread started by Homeo Man in the Science Forum here.

they just as well have been. for all intents and purposes, the amount of rudeness towards them has effectively done the same thing. i am sure i have seen at least one banned or suspended proponent in this thread. the reasons i have seen have made me suspicious.
there was no need to take that picture off either, it just seems like petty control games by the mods.
i think it's disgraceful.

no, i think you're casting unfounded aspertions in an attempt to discredit what they have produced. sorry, and thanks for the welcome, but that's the way i see it.
they have a strong case, it is not ctitiqued by doubt alone.

The only person who participated in this thread that was banned went under the name "Dirk Gently", this person was banned from the forum months ago for being abusive, swearing, falsifying quotes from other Members and so on. They unfortunately keep lying to get back into the forum, when they are spotted the new account is again banned.

The picture is till available for anyone to view; the link is still in both posts that it was posted into - what is disgraceful about that?

amazingdan,
Rather than wasting your own and everyone else's time promulgating incorrect and unsubstantiated assumptions about board members' and moderators' actions, would you kindly adhere to the topic of this thread: Can you please provide evidence that "Homeopathy does work"?
